Sploggers — Deer Ticks of the Internet
Someone’s scraping my content on a site with AdSense text ads all over it. I’ve gone through the process the AdSense copyright infringement team suggests and now I’m waiting to see if this post generates a pingback from the Kelly Blue Book Blog. Whatever the hell that is. They’re scraping content from all over the web, anything with the keyword Kelly, and I’m sure anytime someone searches for Kelly Blue Book, they’re coming up and generating some hits. So what—do I have to change my name now? Jeesh.











"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?"

I don’t understand anything you wrote. What does “scraping my content” mean? But I do know what the Kelly Blue Book is. It is where you go to figure out how much your used car is worth…

I just found your blog and I love it, I will be reading frequently!! I don’t know nothing about these google ads except I added them to my own site and all that. Eventually I will figure out this blogging thing but until then I will read others, and yours is great!
